A/N- Just want to let you all know that I am actually in fact not dead, contrary to popular Okay well I am so sorry that I have been gone so long I had some family issues that required me to travel out of state for a week in a half, oh and there was no internet access:/ So as you can see I haven't really had the chance to update. On top of that I had to bring my grades up too so that conflicted with updating. To make it up to you guys I decided to make this chapter longer than the others so… enjoy!~ Oh and I do not own Soul Eater or Starbucks for that matter!

Chapter 12

~Soul's Point of View~

The next day I awoke with a killer headache. All I could remember from last night was my date with Kid to when I went out to celebrate losing my virginity. Groggily I pushed my self up onto my elbows while letting my eyes adjust to the light streaming through the living room window. 'Wait, living room? Why the hell am I on the living room floor? Better yet why is Maka down here with me?'

Reaching over, I gently placed a hand on Maka's shoulder and gave her a quick shake. Giving her shoulder a particularly violent shake, Maka's eyes finally began to flutter open. Green met red, one utterly confused and the other with a mischievous glint in them.

"Erm…Maka? Why are we on the floor?"

"Oh you don't remember what we did last night?" She responded slyly.

"Uh no, that's kind of why I'm asking you." I retorted back, non to kindly.

"Mmmm, you know Soul if I were you I would watch the attitude. After all you don't want Kid to know about this…" By the tone in my partner's voice I could tell that something really bad had happened. Suddenly my stomach did a back flop as random thoughts of what I…er should I say we did. 'Oh god, please tell me I didn't kiss her!' I thought franticly. 'Just calm down I'm sure it wasn't that bad, Maka's probably just trying to pull my leg or something. Yeah that's it! Any minute now she's going to burst out laughing and tell me she was just kidding!' But I couldn't help the hesitation in my voice as I stuttered, "W-what do you mean?"

"After you came home last night, you were drunk and we had-"'Any minute now!' "-sex." 'No…' My eyes were as wide as saucers as I gaped at Maka, and my voice hitched in my throat. 'No no no no no NO! This can't be happening!' When I had finally absorbed what she said I snapped. "You're lying!" I snarled while managing to roughly push my self off the floor. I was now towering over and my eyes became hard as I glared menacingly at Maka.

Not intimidated by Soul's position or attitude Maka came back with "The truths a bitch isn't it?" Taking on an air of false sympathy Maka continued speaking, trying to send Soul on a one way ticket to guilt trip valley. "Poor Kid, how's he going to react when he finds out that you cheated on him right after you two had sex AND told each other 'I love you.'. He'll be heart broken!" Although Maka was trying to act sympathetic I could clearly detect her smug attitude. Even so those words hit me deep and once again I was reduced to stuttering and sputtering out my next response.

"B-but I-I didn't do it on purpose!"

Maka gave a victorious smirk, "But the point is, is that you did do 'it', and on the night that you took his virginity. What a shame."

"But I…" The words died in my throat as I realized that she was completely right. No matter what I say the fact of the matter is that I cheated on Kid big time…my Kid…my boyfriend…my first and only true love. When he finds out it will completely break his heart…especially since it was Maka. 'That selfish whore! She'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants, no matter who she has to hurt! Kid…what do I do?'

"You'll be happy to know that I do have a proposition for you Soul. That is if you are interested?" My response was a short snort, indicating that I was listening.

"Now no one will find out about what happened between us last night as long as you do two things." Maka held up a pale finger indicating the first rule. "You don't talk to Kid at all, until I say so. And two." Putting up a second finger, she continued. "And you will go with me, Tsubaki, and Black*Star to the winter festival of lights tonight. Deal?" Sticking her hand out she gave a smirk while waiting for my response.

I just stood there dumbstruck, trying to comprehend what she was telling me. 'That bitch! I can't even break up with him to make it a little easier on him.' I gave a long sigh. 'What choice do I have though really? Kid gets hurt either way, but at least it would be less painful for him then hearing that I slept with my meister, even though it was by accident. Until I figure a way to fix this whole situation the safe thing is to go with Maka's plan.'

Reluctantly I grasped her outstretched hand and shook it while growling "Deal…"

~Kid's Point of View~

"Liz, Patty, hurry up! I want to get to the festival as soon as possible!" I hollered from the bottom of the stairs while tapping my foot impatiently. Of course I made sure to alternate feet every eight taps. While waiting for my twin pistols to hurry up I took the chance to straighten my jeans out and adjust my tight fitting black t-shirt. While fiddling with my hair in a near by mirror, I caught sight of Liz and Patty descending down the stairs out of my peripheral. "Finally, what took you two so long?" My annoyance obvious with every word that came out of my mouth.

"Uh Kid we're girls what do you expect?" Liz stated matter-of-factly.

"Why are you so nervous to get there anyways Kid?" Patty asked innocently. 'Why am I so anxious to get to the festival?' I just shrugged my shoulders and casually responded with "I don't know I guess I'm just looking forward to the lights and entertainment you know?"

Liz leaned towards me with a suspicious yet amused look on her face. "Or could it be that you are looking forward to seeing a certain white haired boy?" Patty giggled at this, while I blushed. 'I wish.'

"Actually no, I couldn't get a hold of Soul, so I guess he can't make it tonight or something."

"Hmm oh well. Shall we get going then?" The oldest pistol queried. And with that said we headed out the door to the awaiting excitement, anticipation evidently visible.

~Soul's Point of View~

I knew we were at the event when the intoxicating aroma of fried food filled my senses, and the otherwise empty streets of Death City were jam packed with wandering people and random vendors advertising there businesses. Noticing two random girls heading my way I saw my chance to escape Maka. Turning to her I tried to speak a convincingly as I could. "Maka I see some really old friends of mine, do you mined if I hang with them for a little while, and then I'll catch up with you later?"

She stared long and hard at me as if trying to see if she could detect a falter in my question. After a good minute or so she nodded her head and said, "Fine just as long as you meet back up with us when I text you, k?"

"Yeah, sure!" I replied with overly fake enthusiasm. Luckily she didn't notice it, and I swiftly took off towards the two random girls before she could change her mind. I honestly had no f-ing clue who those two girls were but they were the closet people to my age and I figured it would be better hanging with them than that thing that calls itself Maka.

Upon approaching the two girls I tapped the one on the left's shoulder before saying "Hey I'm Soul." As soon as she saw me she started to drool and when her friend saw me she started to pant. 'Oh god what did I just get myself into…'

~Kid's Point of View~

I know it sounds stupid but once we arrived at the festival I kept hoping that I would run into Soul. 'Damn, I feel like a teenage girl!' Liz, Patty, and I were walking down the street at our own leisurely pace when all of a sudden I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning on my heels I came face to face with Kim and Jacqueline. "Oh, hey guys what's up?" I asked slowly not really quite sure why they all of a sudden wanted to talk to me. "Um Kid, I just wanted to tell you that I saw Soul walking around with these two random girls…" Kim randomly blurted out. 'Wait Soul's here?'

Liz and I exchanged confused glances before I responded. "Ok what's wrong with that?" 'More like why didn't he tell me he was coming to the festival?'

"Well it was just the way the girls were acting around him…I mean they were all over him." Jacqueline added. I gave them one more puzzled look before I replied calmly with, "Haha I'm sure it was nothing! They were probably just old friends of his is all!" Although I couldn't help but notice that I was reassuring myself more then the two girls standing in front of me. 'Well we better get going. I wanna catch up with Soul. Bye!" Kim and Jacqueline said their goodbyes and departed in the opposite direction.

"Well that was weird." Liz suddenly said.

"Yeah well I'm not worried after all-"Abruptly I stopped mid sentence when I caught sight of my albino walking between two sluttish looking girls. To say the very least I was not pleased with the situation. Ignoring the fact that the two girls were there I starting sprinting towards Soul shouting, "Soul-kun!" Right when he turned around I tackled him to the ground in a big hug, while nuzzling my head into the crook of his shoulder. "Soul why didn't you tell me you would be here? I wanted us to hang out at the festival tonight." I murmured against his neck, but before he could answer the blond next to us shrieked. "What do you think you're doing? Get off him weirdo!"

I pushed my self out of the comfort of Soul's neck, to where I was straddling him, and looked up at the rude girl before replying sweetly, "I'm greeting my boyfriend, duh." And just to prove my point I leant down a placed a chaste kiss on Soul's lips. The shocked blonde glowered at me before she grabbed her friend's arm with a huff (who I might add was having a major nose bleed) and stormed off into the consuming crowd of people.

When I looked back down Soul was staring at me in slight shock, with a very light tinge of pink across his cheeks. Realizing that I was still straddling him in the middle of all these people I quickly scrambled off him and offered him a hand. With a nod of appreciation Soul grasped my hand, and I heaved him up. "Soul, do you want to walk with us?" I asked once we were standing face to face. Taking my hand he gave a lopsided grin and nodded his head. 'Something's not right…why isn't he talking to me? And the way he is looking at me is as if he feels regretful and pained…did I do something wrong?'

~Soul's Point of View~

'Just my luck! Of course I had to run into Kid…and I can't talk to him…fuck.' We walked down the isles of vendors in silence. I really hated the fact that I couldn't talk to Kid, but I couldn't just tell him that I fucked Maka, especially with Liz and Patty walking right next to us. Giving a cringe at the mental image of a pissed Liz and Patty I directed my focus back onto Kid. He looked beautiful tonight. The moonlight hit his alabaster skin just right making it radiate a gentle glow, his liquid gold eyes were as piercing as ever, and he was just emitting happiness. Everything about him tonight was just so…perfect. A wave of guilt flushed over me when he leaned his head on my shoulder and snuggled against my arm. 'I'm so going to hell for what I've done…'

Just as the four of us were winding a corner my cell vibrated, indicating that I had just received a new text message. I plunged my free hand into my pocket and fished out my phone. Flipping it open, I cringed inwardly as it revealed a text from non other than the queen bitch Maka.

To: Soul

We're going to the nearby Starbucks in 30 or 40 minutes . Be there shortly after. Got it?

-Maka

Replying back with a simple 'k' I hurriedly thought up an excuse in my head to ditch Kid and his twin pistols. 'I know I'm not supposed to talk to Kid, but Maka won't know if I do just this once…' "Ah damn, I got to go Kid!" The raven haired boy gave me a look of pure innocent curiosity that was clearly asking why? And behind that I could hint his disappointment. Putting on my most convincing act of tonight I commenced speaking. "Black*Star just sent me a text saying his car broke down and he needs a lift to the festival. I'm really sorry Kid." 'Wow, the only sincere thing I've said to night was that last line.'

"Oh ok." With that said he gave a brilliant smile silently telling me he understood. Although Kid wouldn't pick up on it that sorry had multiple meanings embedded into it. 'I'm sorry for ditching you right now. I'm sorry for sleeping with Maka. I'm sorry that this will be the last time that I'll be able to speak to you for a while. I'm sorry for the pain I am going to cause you in the future. But most of all, I'm sorry that you had to fall in love with me.'

Turning away I began walking in the opposite direction when I felt a delicate hand grab my wrist. Swiveling around Kid gave me a playful smile before asking jokingly, "What, no goodbye kiss?" Swiftly I pulled my shinigami close and planted a soft passionate kiss on his lips. 'Better make it last, because this won't be happening for a while.' After pulling back we stared into each other's eyes for a while, observing the loving gazes we exchanged in that moment. The trance was broken when Kid leaned up and placed a light kiss on my lips before leaning up towards my ear and murmuring, "I love you."

"I-I love you too." I whispered back, while my heart clenched. Pulling away I said goodbye to him one last time before I turned my back on him and jogged towards Starbucks.

~Kid's Point of View~

Once Soul was out of my eye sight I rejoined Liz ands Patty, so that we could continue exploring the streets. Patty was running slightly ahead of us laughing collecting free samples from the various vendors while Liz and I were walking in a comfortable silence, silently observing the festivities taking place around us. Liz gave me a curious side glance before breaking the quiet between us. "Was it just me or was Soul acting weird tonight?"

"Kind of…" 'So I wasn't the only one who noticed it…' I'm pretty sure she noticed that I was some what worried about Soul and changed the subject immediately. "Hey how about we go into a few shops and look around, ne?"

"Yeah ok," relieved that we weren't dwelling on Soul for the moment. Patty rejoined us soon after and we ventured further down the street towards the small stores lined a few of the walk ways. All of a sudden I felt Liz and Patty's hands stop me in my tracks and I looked back at them curiously. They shared a look that acted as if they had some inside joke going on between them. This for the record, didn't get past me. "What are you two up too?" I sighed, not really in the mood to play their games.

"We just want to go into this shop is all." Liz stated quite innocently…maybe a little too innocently. "Yeah that's all!" Patty shouted, pointing at the small boutique we were currently standing in front of. I took a glance at the store reading the sign placed above it, written in very feminine curly cursive writing. "Jezebel's. Kind of a weird name for a store, don't you think? Ok, whatever we can look in here if you guys want, but only for a little while. I do not want to get caught looking in a girls shop by someone we know."

Both girls released a scream of glee before each took a hold of my arms and dragged me into the awaiting store.

'I think I'm going to be sick…everything is so, is so pink. I may be gay but this was pushing it. And what is- oh my god! Is that lingerie? Shit, it is! It's a fricking lingerie shop!' "I-I have to get out of here!" Right as my hand grasped the handle of the door that led to my freedom I was harshly yanked back by Patty. "Patty let me go! I don't want to be in this store!" I pleaded all the while trying to squirm free of her iron grip.

"Haha! No no no Kiddo! We came into this store on a special mission, and you're part of it!" Patty giggled while pulling me towards a sign in the store that read "SALE! Baby doll lingerie with matching panties 10% off!" 'I do not like where this is going…' "Then at least tell me why we are here then!" I demanded non to kindly.

Liz slinked up beside us with a smug smirk plastered on her face. "Why we're here to help you pick out lingerie!"

Staring at Liz dumbstruck the only words I could muster up were, "Come again?"

"You know for when you and Soul have sex again!" Patty giggled, a little too loudly I might add. Rapidly regaining my state of mind I started thrashing violently, trying my best to get away from my psycho path weapons.

"Why the hell would I wear something like that? Let me go!" I bellowed drawing the attention of the other shoppers to us.

"Stop fussing Kid! We're just trying to make your sex life interesting! Besides Soul will think you look incredibly sexy!" Picking up a random top she held it in front of my face exclaiming,"Oh, how about this one!" I was completely mortified when she held up a skimpy black top that was completely see through, and failed miserably at trying to recess the major blush that was forming on my face.

"N-no way am I wearing something like that."

"Okay well how about this!" Patty screeched shoving another overly revealing piece of clothing (if you could even call it that.) in front of my face.

Looking down I muttered, "At least pick something that is a little more modest…" Liz and Patty exchanged high fives when the realized that I was caving in, and then quickly went back to scouring the store for the perfect unmentionable.

After about ten minutes of searching, Liz gave a victorious shout from the other side of the store. Clutched in her right hand was a sugar melon baby doll top made with a sheer material, and in the other was a pair of matching women's underwear. Bounding towards me with Patty hot at her heals, she thrust the flimsy material towards me gleefully saying, "I finally found it! This will look perfect on you!"

Reluctantly taking the garment I looked distastefully at the underwear. Turning my nose up I stated very bluntly, "I am not wearing the underwear."

"Oh yes you are, unless you want Soul to be able to see your you-know-what clearly." Liz pressed on while shoving the panties into my free hand. Mumbling a fine I stormed off towards the dressing rooms and slammed the door shut.

Once alone I held up the clothing to get a better look at what I was about to try on. The article had a somewhat retro shape to it with lace trim around the bottom, neckline, straps, and a few pieces of it going vertically down the breast area. At the bust line it cinched to were a loose bow in the middle was placed. And compared to most of the lingerie there it wasn't that see through. Overall it was (dare I say it) kind of pretty. Sighing I slipped off my t-shirt and pants and pulled the clothing over my head. Before looking in the mirror I slipped off my boxers and replaced it with the (cringe) the women's undergarment.

'…Damn…' The slip went down to just above my mid thigh and the top part hugged my chest nicely. The rest of it gently flowed down, but not to where it was to puffy or clingy. And the delicate air it gave off made my body appear more fragile. The salmon/pinkish material was flattering against my flawless pale skin and managed to make my skin tone seem to radiate a warmer feeling. And since I was lacking a little in the lower department the underwear fit nicely, and not awkwardly like it would for most guys. Overall I looked good. All of a sudden there was a loud bang on the dressing room door and Patty started shouting for me to hurry up. Taking a deep breath I twisted the door knob open to reveal myself to my awaiting weapons.

"Aw! Kid you look so cute! Soul's gonna have a nosebleed when he sees you in that!" Patty squealed jumping up and down. I turned to Liz waiting for a response but realized she was still analyzing my get up. "There's something missing" she murmured under her breath. After a few seconds passed she snapped her fingers and her eyes lit up. "I got it!" Moving towards me she took two bob pins, that were the same color as my slip, a pinned them in my hair on the opposite side of my three white stripes in an 'X' shape. Stepping back she gave me an approving nod before asking a nearby sales lady, "How do you think he looks?"

I stared incredulously at Liz and my face turned a brilliant shade of red, when the girl squealed, "He's so adorable! Is this for his boyfriend or something! That is just too cute! You know I have never thought a guy could pull off women's lingerie, but man was I wrong! You totally need to buy that!" The last part was directed at me and I stared at the floor trying to hide my all to obvious embarrassment.

"Well it's settled then, you're buying it!" Liz pushed me back into the dressing room so that I could change and continued talking to the random girl who had just evaluated my appearance. I gave one last look in the mirror and sighed. 'I hope Soul likes it."

A few minutes later I stepped out of the dressing room holding the sleepwear and gave money to Liz to pay for me (Hell if I would let anyone else see me with that kind of stuff!). Liz finished paying and handed me the bag before we exited the store. The last thing I heard on the way out was that same sales girl shouting, "Good luck with your boyfriend!" I did a face palm at the attention grabbing statement. 'How did I let them convince me into this'

"What do you want to do now Kid?" Patty asked jumping up and down looking for somewhere that might interest me.

"I'm kind of thirsty, how about we head to Starbucks? It's just around the block." I suggested.

"Fine with me." Liz replied, while Patty made a face at the prospect of drinking coffee.

It was chilly outside and the warmth from the coffee shop enveloped me like a blanket causing me to release a soft sigh. Making our way over to the counter I ordered a medium peppermint mocha frappe chino, while Liz ordered a medium Italian brewed coffee and Patty picked out a pastry. In a monotone voice the cashier told us to pick up our orders at the counter at the other end of the small shop.

We were waiting for our orders at the designated counter when I spotted Maka, Tsubaki, and Black*Star sitting in the corner around a small circular table.

Liz and I exchanged a 'I really don't want to talk to them, but if I don't they're going to get upset and they'll never let me hear the end of it' look. It wasn't Tsubaki or Black*Star that I didn't really want to talk to, it was mainly Maka. After what she did to me at school a few days ago I began to loathe her. Our orders were finished at that exact moment and we grabbed them before heading over to join the party of three.

Upon approaching Maka gave me a sincere smile before speaking in that high annoying voice of hers. "Kid I just want to apologize for my rude behavior; I never should have said that to you…I guess I was just worried I would loose my partner. Can you find it in your hear to forgive me?" Taken aback by her sudden change in attitude I dumbly shook my head while mumbling out an 'I guess so'. Giving a squeal of delight Maka gave me a hug that was unrequited. I could sense Liz tensing up behind me while the whole ordeal took place, and I was finally able to hear the fakeness in Maka's voice. Instead of calling her out on it though I went ahead and played dumb, hoping she would shut up soon. Pulling away from me Maka noted the bag in my hand enthusiastically. "Oh you guys went shopping, what'd you get? Can I see?" Instantly I jerked the bag to my chest while a pink tinge dusted my pale face.

"Haha, it's nothing important, just picking up some things for the house." A huge sweat drop formed on my head when the three people in front of me sent me strange looks, while the two girls behind me tried to stifle their laughter.

"Anyways, what are you guys doing here?" I asked while taking a nervous sip from my drink, all the while praying to god that they would drop the previous subject. It seemed to work because Black*Star shouted out, "We're waiting for Soul! Maka texted him to meet us here, so now we're just waiting for him to show up!" Liz and I exchanged puzzled looks and turned back to the small group of friends, trying our best to act like what Black*Star just said hadn't affected us in the slightest.

"Uh…oh then I guess we'll wait with you guys if that's alright?" I could barely speak trying to convince myself that this was all a big misunderstanding and that Soul just forgot to text me back. "I'm surprised that Soul didn't text you to meet us over here. Didn't he know you were at the festival tonight?" I went rigid at Maka's seemingly innocent question. 'He knew damn well that I was here, and I thought he had to help out Black*Star? What is going on right now?' We all sat there in silence for a while, Liz and I occasionally taking sips of our drinks, and Patty biting off chunks of her pastry. The whole time though I kept trying to think in my head of reasonable answers as to why Soul was meeting up with other people at the festival and not inviting me along. I was too absorbed in my thoughts to pay much attention to my bag, until I noticed Black*Star taking a peak inside of it! 'Oh shit!' "Black*Star don't go through my things!" I yelled upsetting the peaceful setting while making blind grabs for the bag. But before I could find purchase with the bag Black*Star produced the lingerie that was inside for everyone to see. My face turned tomato red when I noticed Maka had a look of disgust on her face, Tsubaki was blushing and Black*Star was…drooling? 'My life is ruined.' I mentally thought to myself. 'I guess it could be worse though.'

Obviously Lady Luck was not on my side today because at that time the bell of the door to the coffee shop chimed, and we all turned to see that Soul was advancing towards us. When he locked eyes with me though, he looked shocked and quickly averted his gaze from mine. The action made my heat ache and I kept wondering what I did to make him to want to get away from me. 'It's probably my three stripes isn't it? He doesn't want me because I'm asymmetrical! Does he regret having sex with me? No, that couldn't be it because he said he loved me! Right? What the hell did I do wrong!' I was in a state of panic trying to figure out what I did wrong, while Soul coolly made his way to the table and took a seat next to Black*Star. 'Why didn't he sit by me...?'

My self pity quickly transformed into extreme embarrassment when Soul pointed at the lingerie, which was still being held up be Black*Star, and asked carefully "Erm Black*Star? Exactly why are you holding women's lingerie?"

Black*Star quickly tossed the material at me and pointed an accusing finger at me while yelling loud enough for everyone to hear "It's not mine its Kid's!" 'Jesus tap dancing Christ, this night just got a lot worse.'

~Soul's Point of View~

When Black*Star blurted out that the lingerie belonged to Kid I chocked on my spit. 'Is he trying to make this harder on me?' Before I could voice my opinion in the matter though, Maka butted in with her big mouth. "Soul we should get going now, but you might want to have a talk with your gender confused boyfriend later." I locked gazes only to see the silent plead in his eyes, begging me to tell him what's going on. "I…Yeah, let's go Maka." Sagging my shoulders in defeat, I started to follow the blond bitch out the door but not before noticing the menacing looks Kid's twin pistols were shooting at me.

Just when I was half way out the door, I heard one of the metal chairs violently screech against the tile floors, creating a dramatic pause of commotion in the shop. 'Please don't let that be Kid.' Cocking my head behind my shoulder, I disdainfully confirmed my suspicions. Turning completely around I was able to fully take in a flustered Kid with his head bowed and his fists so tightly clenched that I thought his rings were going to puncture his skin. Taking a few deep breaths he slowly raised his head only to reveal furious tears forming in his eyes. He wasn't even bothering to fix his slightly skewed bangs. Meaning he was truly pissed.

"What did I do wrong…" came his voice, hushed and broken, almost as if he were asking himself. Of course I couldn't answer and just stared blankly at him. 'Kid I wish you could know how much it hurts me to see you this way…'

"See that's what I'm talking about! You won't talk to me; in fact you hardly even look at me! It's just I thought you loved me, you…you told me so last night and I let you-oh god I let you…" His face twisted into even more despair and his voice cracked half way through his speech, filling it with a shuddering sob. 'This is too much!'

"I let you take me virginity! And what do I get in return? False promises and a broken heart! Did you know how happy it made me feel when you held me that way, how happy I was? I was finally happy…" He paused and gave a harsh laugh, but defiantly not in the haha way. This laugh was cynical, like he was laughing at some sick and twisted joke.

"And you know what's the worst part, that bitch partner of yours was completely right! I was just your fucking toy! You played with my emotions just so you could fuck me…and you had the guts to kiss me and tell me that you loved me today! I hate you Soul Eater Evans!" At this he collapsed to the floor and let a few more sobs escape his mouth. Those words stung the most and I felt actually tears coming to my eyes at the mere thought that he thinks I don't love him. 'Crying is not cool Soul…hold it in.'

It was silent for a while and the only sound that could be heard were the heavy pants coming from my loves mouth. His voice was low and raspy this time, most likely worn out from all the screaming.

"No…that's not true…I don't hate you Soul. In fact I love you more than you will ever know…but I guess that's not enough…" With his head turned to the side and his eyes focused on the ground he whispered the words I feared the most. "I think we should break up Soul…" The tears rolled freely down my face now. I didn't care who saw anymore I was loosing Kid and there wasn't any fucking thing I could do about it! 'Fuck what Maka says!' "Kid-"

"Save it I don't want to hear it. Don't talk to me, call me, text me, message me, or try to contact me in any way. It's easier to forget someone when you cut them out of your life…" Trying my best to put on a face of indifference I turned on my heel leaving my lover to fall apart…although I don't think I'm obliged to call him that anymore…

~Kid's Point of View~

"Kid let's go home…" Patty whispered with a twinge of sorrow in her normally perky attitude. Deafly nodding my head I let the two girls help me up and we walked out of the Starbuck's leaving Black*Star and Tsubaki without another word. I had the bag still clutched in my hand I smiled at it sorrowfully. As much as I acted like I hated the article of clothing I was actually quite fond of it and ecstatic to try it on for Soul. Of course that was before the Starbucks incident. We made our way home the rest of the way in complete and utter silence. Giving me more than enough time to recap everything that happened to night. Tears stung my eyes at the thoughts. As sad as I was I had this nagging feeling in the back of my head though. 'What was Soul trying to tell me before I cut him off? Did I make a mistake by not listening to what he had to say?' "You did everything absolutely right if you wondering." Liz added calmly. 'Great she can read my mind.' "And no I can't read your mind, I can just tell by your facial expressions that you're having doubts."

"But what if I was wrong? We shouldn't have gone to that Starbucks." Liz halted in her tracks, grabbing my shoulders forcing me to look at her while she spoke firmly. "First off you were not wrong. He ditched you Kid. Ditched you! If that's not enough he let Maka's comment about the lingerie slide proving that he deserved everything you said to him. Second if you wouldn't have gone then you never would have known and it would have made things ten times harder."

"But-"I added weakly, weary of the pressure of her fingers digging into my shoulder.

""Kid-"Her voice dropped to a softer tone this time before she spoke. "There's one thing I need to know. Do you really still love him?"

I stared hard at the ground and mumbled gently, "More than anything…that's why it hurts so much…" Her vice grip softened immensely and she sighed before mumbling "Let's just get you home…"

~Black*Star's Point of View~

I was sitting back in the coffee shop with Tsubaki, letting what just happened sink in. 'Heh, everything went exactly to plan.' A smug smirk forming on my face. Sitting up I gestured to Tsubaki, "We should probably get home, it's getting late." Giving me a small smile Tsubaki stood up saying, "Of course. I just hope Kid is ok, don't you?" Giving her a sympathetic look I nodded my head in agreement. 'He'll be fine once I get a word in with him.' Giving an inward smirk I pushed the door to the coffee shop open and let the cool air embrace Tsubaki and I, as we started to make our way home.

A/N- Holy shit that was loooooong! DX Hopefully that made up for some of my lack of updating. No? Well I'll be updating sooner so maybe then you can forgive meXD Anyways I hope you enjoyed this 6,000 word chapter, and maybe enjoyed the plot like twisty thing at the end? Well leave me your reviews telling me what your opinion of It was, because reviews inspire me to write! :D Thank you for staying with my story so far and I promise I won't disappoint you with the next chapter!
